Description

Must be eaten fresh out of the oven with obscene amounts of this butter. Life changing.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SWEET POTATO MINI LOAVES:
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 1 envelope (2 1/4 Teaspoons) Active Dry Yeast
  • ¼ cups Plus 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar, Divided
  • ⅔ cups Mashed Sweet Potato (See Note In Instructions)
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¼ cups Melted Butter, Cooled
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 3-½ cups Bread Flour (give Or Take 1/2 Cup)
  • FOR THE BUTTER:
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 4 Tablespoons Honey
  • ½ whole Orange, Zested
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon

Preparation

Pour warm water into bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar over the water. Swirl to combine and proof the yeast, 5 minutes. Stir in remaining sugar, mashed sweet potato, egg and melted butter. With the mixer on low, slowly incorporate the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour (in 1/2 cup increments, switching to 1/4 cup increments as the dough starts to form). Once the dough has pulled away from the sides and is tacky but won’t stick to your hands when pressed, turn the mixer on medium to high speed and knead for 6 minutes.

After this, remove dough and place into a greased bowl. Turn dough around in bowl to lightly grease the entire surface of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour in a warm draft-free spot in your kitchen.

Remove plastic wrap, punch down dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll into logs and place in greased mini loaf pans (I don’t know the exact dimensions). Lightly cover loaves with plastic wrap and let rise another hour.

After this time, preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake loaves for 20 minutes or until tops are lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

To make the butter, stir butter, honey, orange zest and cinnamon together until smooth.

Serve Sweet Potato Loaves warm with Orange Cinnamon Honey Butter.

Note: I used 1 medium sized sweet potato for this recipe. I stabbed it a few times and microwaved it on high for 7 minutes. I let it cool 10 minutes or so before I cut into it, scooped out the insides and mashed them.
